Abstract

Three panelists, Ashok Goel, Ansaf Salleb-Aouissi and Mehran Sahami explain some of the tools and techniques they used to keep their students engaged during virtual instruction. The techniques include the desire to take one’s passion for the learning materials to the virtual classroom, to ensure teacher presence, provide for cognitive engagement with the subject and facilitate social interactions. Finally, we learn about tools used to manage a large online course so as to move the many active learning exercises to the virtual classroom.
